Last night we went out for a drink with friends. “To die for” was our aim, a fashionable hang-out place with the mildly decadent decor of sofa beds (divans) in the back yard. I chose a bottle of red from Argentina, a ‘2004 Trumpeter Reserve’ by Rutini Wines.
What a pleasant surprise this wine was. Full-bodied, succulent with a good finish. Great drop from the new world. The wine is a blend of Tempranillo and Malbec to equal parts and rest (about 30%) is Cabernet Sauvignon, a well rounded affair. 35 Euro in a restaurant in Bangkok is an OK price, I think.
We relaxed on the divan and watched the young fashionable Thais socializing. What a great end to a busy working week. Cheers folks
